Abstract: Abstract This article examines the key factors that determine the quality of life of business students and the extent to which they achieve a learning-life balance, including the individual characteristics that influence them, with a particular focus on the role of the family. The authors conducted a questionnaire survey of 1188 business students and univariate and multivariate analyses, including ANOVA, T-test, correlation, logistic regression, Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), using SPSS version 28 and AMOS version 28. The results show that the most important factors in business students’ quality of life are physical state, psychological state and family relations. Most of them believe that overload can induce stress and burnout during business higher education. The impact of a greater number of demands is that students are less likely to be able to pay attention to their families and pursue their hobbies. Business students in different grades perceive university workloads, expectations and the possibilities of balancing life and learning differently. The quality of life of business students is strongly influenced by the student’s gender, grade and family ties as independent variables and can be associated with emotional intelligence, conscientiousness, cooperation and innovation as factors. However, gender is the only variable in the perception of the characteristics that facilitate the reconciliation of learning and private life.
